Seasoned Journalist, Kwesi Pratt Jnr. has slammed government officials who tell Ghanaians God is on their side despite their sufferings in hope that such statement will make them feel better.
Kwesi Pratt raised concerns over such faith expressed by the leaders, saying, "those claims we make that with God on our side and so on, what's the meaning of that?"
His point is that God is for every person and nation, hence called on the leaders to concentrate on doing the right things that will ameliorate the living conditions of Ghanaians.
"God is also God of Ukraine but then Ukraine is on fire . . . If we are suffering and everyday what we hear is that God is on our side, is God not also on the side of Ukraine? Is He not on Sri Lanka's side?"
Contributing to Peace FM's "Kokrokoo" Tuesday morning, Mr. Pratt further queried; "Is God a Ghanaian?"
He admonished the proclaimers to desist from making those statements as, to him, it doesn't resolve the problems confronting Ghanaians.
"So, that with God on our side, I think we don't want to hear again because God is on everybody's side and that doesn't resolve the concrete problems that people face," he stressed.

The Insolence, Intolerance & Disrespect of a seasoned Journalist for other views. Yes, together we can build a Beautiful Ghana. We can & should always Disagree to Agree as Patriots & Nation Builders. Long live Ghana, Long live our Democracy.
I was very impressed the way Dr Boako was able to lecture Mr Pratt and explained things to the people of Ghana. Npp need knowledgeable people like Dr Boako who are not just highly educated but are naturally blessed with satisfactory articulately delivery. Oh! How I wished Ken could be replaced by Dr Boako as the Economic and Finance minister not because Ken is not up to his job but he is not a political ***barred word*** and he is not blessed with eloquent. Making changes might be too late for the npp to win the 2024 election.Come on NPP.
Uncle Kwesi, the son of Methodist priest has sunk so low to this point. God is there and those who will call and pray to him will get answer. If Ukraine and Sri Lanka people will not call him and we will call him, what is your problem? You used to be objective in your analysis ,reportage and statements but now that you have matured and to play advisory role, you have been one sided. You know where you are leaning to.
When prayers were made during Mahama's era for Dumsor to end Pratt so nothing wrong with that. Pratt walked out of News File because he was pushed to give evidence on his rantings and has done same on other prominent radio stations. Pratt always want to have his way and even fights with his co-panelists. Apart from Nkrumah, Mahama & Atta-Mills he attacks all leaders but he cannot stand criticism. What a fake character!
Eeeiiii Kwesi Pratt still pratting on and on. Is this where you have taken politics to. Now calling the name of God is being banned from our body politics. He will soon extend it to schools. That's how these things start oo. Let's watch out as a country - How will or can "God bless our Homeland Ghana" if he's not on our side. Asem beba dabi!!
What is your problem? An atheist like you. Anyway socialist people like you normally don't believe in Christianity. Downfall person like you. A traitor calling himself a CPP person.
